About A PLUS JAPAN
Founded in 2019, Tokyo-based A PLUS JAPAN acquires the rights to adapt popular Japanese IPs into games and release them globally, as well as for the domestic market. The company places great importance on the original story, adhering to the source IP in the adaptation for their games which are enjoyed by both existing and new fans of the stories.
Challenge
The nature of game development in different countries and regions requires an infrastructure that can provide stable services even in remote locations. Alibaba Cloud has data centers around the world, and the quality of its network and servers is high enough to support access from overseas users.
Why Alibaba Cloud
Database performance and network stability were critical to the global expansion of game titles. A Plus have been using several Alibaba Cloud services for a number of years and, as expected, have never experienced any major problems, and have found Alibaba Cloud’s solutions to be very reliable.
Architecture
Key Results
• Compared to costs required before the migration, A Plus were able to reduce costs by approximately 50%. The company has been able to achieve high-quality operations while keeping infrastructure costs low. • When A Plus experienced a problem with a game application being developed overseas, the company were able to debug it in real time by using the TAM service.
Looking Forward
A Plus’ goal is to further expand their user base in the global market. The company believes it will be easier to provide a pleasant network environment for each region as more Alibaba Cloud data center locations are added, such as Australia, the Middle East, and South America.
